Today, my fiancé told me that he expects me to agree to quit my job to cook and clean after we get married, or he will not show up at our wedding. He earns minimum wage and my salary is 17 times higher than his. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancé and his family accused me of being with him only because he's rich, refusing to go ahead with the wedding. I accepted his marriage proposal 4 years ago, when he was penniless and unemployed. FML
Today, I decided to go meet up with a guy that I met online for the first time. All he could talk about was how he expects me to "clean, cook, and submit" my body for sex at least twice a day when we get married. FML
Today, my boyfriend called me explaining that he is getting married this weekend to a woman he met on Craigslist. Why? Because I won't marry him, and he'll make an extra thousand dollars per month having a wife since he is in the army. FML
Today, my boyfriend of over two years said he wants to get married before he leaves for basic training. Not because he loves me, but because he'll get paid more if he's married. This is the only time he's been excited about marriage. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me that in order for me to be considered for marriage, I need to prove that I can be a subservient woman. This includes signing over the deed to my house, my car, and all my banking assets, so that he can be “the man of the house.” I make 6 figures; he rents with roommates. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I should finish school early and get a job so we can get married, because then he'll have enough money to buy the truck he's had his eyes on for our whole relationship. FML
Today, my fiancé and I had a fight over household expenses. He's never had a job in his life, but this didn't stop him demanding that I get another full-time job to pay for video games and beer. FML
Today, I'm getting married in a week. I was sashaying around the kitchen talking to my friend on the phone, saying, "No more diets, no more blowjobs, and if he complains I get half his money!" when I turned and saw my fiancé in the door. He won't believe that it was a joke and now wants a prenup. FML
Today, my boyfriend came home and said he'd been fired from his minimum wage cashier job. He added that since I make enough to cover the bills, he wants to take a break from "working and shit." I stared at him, mouth agape, and he thought I was offering him a blowjob. FML
Today, my fiancé told me that his work is more important than our family. We have 2 kids. FML

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He's an idiot and you should call off the engagement.

17 times higher? Depending on where you live, and assuming he works full time, that means you’re making at least a couple hundred k a year! You must be an executive or something. And I mean logically, that is just such a crazy bonkers expectation he had that he MUST have been kidding, right? ...Right? Please tell me he was kidding!

You make 17x minimum wage? Over $123/hr? Over $250k/yr? Then you can afford a psychiatrist to help you work through why you're settling for a man who wants to hold you back in life.

Min wage in South Africa, where it looks like OP is from translates to ~$1.05 an hour. OP would be making 17 times that, so just around $17.85 an hour

Such an idiot! Just leave him!

It appears you make around $300k a year. Why are you dating someone who makes so little and wants to control your household's finances? And with your high-value talents, I wouldn't be surprised if your cooking and cleaning suck.

Run. He obviously can’t handle your success and will make you miserable in the end. Don’t settle for someone who expects to control you.
